The elastic latch rod is latched to the latch base, and the tube clamp is latched to the tubes, so that the roofs and the side plates are fixed at a top end of the machine frame to form a rain shelter.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a frame for power machinery such as apump, a motor and a generator, and more particularly to the frame withsun-shading and rain-shading functions and an easy-to-carry oreasy-to-transport feature, and the frame can fit the power machineriesof different sizes or specifications.

2. Description of the Related Art

The so-called power machinery generally refers to generator, or machinetool, agricultural machinery, or construction machinery having a pump ora motor.

When the power machinery is installed outdoors, a shelter is generallymounted onto the top of a machine frame for the purpose of shading sunand rain. However, such arrangement not only hinders the undertaking ofconstruction work, but also causes inconvenient carry andtransportation. Obviously, improvements are required.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to providea frame for power machinery capable of shading sun and rain as well asproviding an easy way of carrying or transporting a pump, a motor, agenerator, etc.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a frame forpower machinery that can fit pumps, motors or generators of differentsizes or specifications.

To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present inventioncomprises: a machine frame formed by connecting a plurality of tubes;two roofs installed at upper ends of the tubes and having a plurality oflatch bases disposed on inner sides of the two roofs respectively; and aplurality of side plates installed on outer sides of the side plates andhaving a plurality of elastic latch rods installed on inner sides of theside plates, and a tube clamp, wherein the elastic latch rod is latchedto the latch base, and the tube clamp is latched to the tubes, so thatthe roofs and the side plates are fixed at a top end of the machineframe to form a rain shelter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The objectives, technical characteristics, measures, effects andadvantages of the present invention will become apparent with thedetailed description of preferred embodiment accompanied with theillustration of related drawings as follows.

With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the present invention comprises thefollowing elements:

A machine frame 1 is formed by connecting a plurality of tubes 11, andthe top end of each tube 11 is progressively inclined from both sidestowards the middle to define an inclined state. The two roofs 2 aredisposed across the top ends of the tubes 11 and have a plurality oflatch bases 21 disposed on inner sides of the two roofs 2. Each latchbase 21 has a through hole 22, and a plurality of latching teeth 23disposed in the through hole 22. A plurality of side plates 3 areinstalled on external sides of the roofs 2, and a plurality of elasticlatch rods 31 and a tube clamp 32 are installed on outer sides of theroofs 2. Each latch rod 31 is engaged with the respective latch base 21,and the tube clamp 32 is latched with the tubes 11, so that the sideplates 3 and the roofs 2 can be fixed at the top end of the frame 1. Anextension 33 with a greater length is disposed at an end of the sideplate 3, and a downwardly indented arc recess 34 is formed at the otherend of the side plate 3, and the side plate 3 has a plurality of screwholes 35 for fixing the tube clamp 32 by screws 36, wherein the positioncan be adjusted or changed as needed. In the process of installing theaforementioned assembly, the latch rods 31 are latched with the latchbases 21 respectively, so that the roofs 2 and the side plates 3 arecombined with each other. Now, the extension 33 of the side plate 3 issituated at the bottom of the roof 2, and the arc recess 34 is protrudedfrom the external side of the roof 2, and the tube clamp 32 is latchedwith the tubes 11 to fix the roof 2 and the side plate 3 to the top endof the machine frame 1 to form a rain shelter as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.

In addition, the inner sides of the two roofs 2 are situated on a plane,so that the two roofs 2 can be overlapped or coupled with each other,and the screws 36 are used for fixing the two roofs to achieve therain-shading effect as shown in FIG. 1.

In a larger machine frame 1, the interval between the two tubes 11 isgreater. Therefore a design capable of telescoping the latch rod 31inside the through hole 22 of the latch base and latching andpositioning the latch rod 31 with the latching teeth 23 is provided, andthe extension 33 can be adjusted to extend the length as needed andsecured to different screw holes 35. The position of the tube clamp 32can be adjusted or changed to latch the tubes 11 as shown in FIG. 4, soas to achieve the effect of fitting a power machinery of different sizesor specifications.

When the invention is not in use (or there is no need of shading raintemporarily), the roofs 2 and the side plates 3 can be moved and hangedon both sides of the machine frame 1 as shown in FIG. 5 in order toavoid missing the roofs 2 or the side plates 3 or causing inconvenienceto carry or move the frame.

In summation of the description above, the present invention at leasthas the following advantages over the prior art.

1. The invention can really provide the rain-shading and sun-shading,not only can increase the service life of the product, but also canreduce the noise produced by engines, and can avoid the risk of electricleakage, particularly in electric products.

2. The installation and removal of the rain shelter are simple, quickand convenient and can be achieved by latching or separating the tubeclamp 32 and the tubes 11.

3. When the frame of the power machinery is not in use, the roofs 2 andthe side plates 3 can be hanged on both sides of the machine frame 1 toavoid missing the roofs 2 and/or the side plates 3 and facilitatecarrying or moving the frame.

4. The invention can fit machine frames of different sizes orspecifications.

While the invention has been described by means of specific embodiments,numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by thoseskilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of theinvention set forth in the claims.

In summation of the description above, the present invention can achievethe expected objectives and effects and complies with patent applicationrequirements, and thus it is duly filed for patent application.
